Michael Schifano, D.O.’94, is founder and chief executive officer of Heartland Women’s Healthcare, a regional obstetrics and gynecology group with 23 locations in Southern Illinois and three in Missouri. The group’s 50 doctors, nurse practitioners and midwives serve 250,000 active patients, with 5,000 annual births and about 150,000 annual office visits. Schifano opened his first OB-GYN office in 2001 in Marion, IL, with satellites in Harrisburg, Anna and West Frankfort, IL. The practice broke ground in September 2018 on a 16,000-square-foot medical building in Shiloh, IL, that will accommodate up to 10 providers at once with about 32 exam rooms, four ultrasound theaters, two labs and two procedure rooms.
